Having problems with your PC Laptops ?

Laptop won't start up.

\015 My laptop is not starting up properly and always gives me this screen asking me how I want to let it start up, when I choose the safe mode it keeps restarting over and over again, and when I choose to start normally or do system restore it freezes. I've been told it's the hard drive, I'm just not really sure if it is. Can someone help me?\015\012\015\012ThnQs in advance!\015

Answers :

It does sound like a hardware problem but it may not be. You should pull the back panels off the laptop and dust it out using a low psi air compressor or can of air. It may be just dust causing the processor to overheat and freeze. One thing you can try, if you dont have files you want to keep is to run the factory restore or a reinstall of windows and see if the problem persists.

A friend of mine asked me to put his Toshiba Satellite M35X S-109 back together for him after someone had it in pieces and tried to put it back together. I think it may be f*#ked. I have gotten it put back together, but cannot power it up! When I plug it into the AC adapter and try to power it on, I have a green light for the plug, no light in the middle and a flashing red/orange light for the battery. It really does want to power up (fan kicks on for a second) but just wont. The plug I have is
